Gyro Meat is a flavorful blend of lamb and beef, seasoned with aromatic herbs and spices, perfect for making authentic gyro sandwiches or various dishes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium onion, cut into chunks
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 pound ground lamb
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoon dried marjoram
  • 2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. 1. Preheat your oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.

2. 2. In a food processor, pulse the onion and garlic until finely chopped. In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, ground beef, chopped onion and garlic, oregano, marjoram, thyme, rosemary, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the ingredients are fully incorporated.

3. 3. Form the meat mixture into a loaf or compact rectangular shape, and place it on the prepared baking sheet or in the loaf pan.

4. 4. Bake the gyro meat for 60-70 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.

5. 5. Once the gyro meat is out of the oven, let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing it thinly.

6. 6. Serve in warm pita bread with toppings like tzatziki, tomatoes, onions, and lettuce.

Notes

Pulse the onion and garlic to integrate them seamlessly into the meat mixture.

Gently mix the ingredients to maintain texture and prevent the meat from becoming dense.

Monitor the internal temperature to ensure perfect doneness.

Leftover gyro meat can be refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen for longer storage.
